This dirt road - across from the Curtis Windmill on Highway 80 - can take you to the San Pedro (on foot anyway - the road is gated at the BLM land boundary). Charles Miles. 5/29/2013.

This windmill had a storage tank and open tank, the storage tank was holding water (that I took advantage of for 'dump over me' water on the way out). Charles Miles. 5/29/2013.

I had disturbed a great blue heron and it had flown along the river - I was hoping to get a better view of it and was moving cautiously and not only did I see the heron but also this troop of Coati!!! They either ignored me or did not know I was there was at least several minutes - wishing I had more than my little point and shoot along, I think I could have gotten some great shots!
